Okay, this is totally from my perspective, of how this conversation is going and where I saw issues arise that not only did she not appreciate but that I thought were uncalled for as well. If you can understand this, and also understand that it is a pattern that I see in other posts of yours as well, maybe it will help tp prevent misunderstandings in the future. Saying : quote:
That's an excuse for you.... it's a crutch. If you focus on your partner instead of yourself you'll notice a big difference in what you can take. (And no... making him coffee in the morning is not what i mean by ocusing on him). is different from saying quote:
The only reason why i mentioned focusing more on Him instead of hersellf is because it helps me to thrive instead of 'Just deal with' my 'Issues'. It might do the same for her. In one, you are passing judgment on her as if you have all the answers and know whats best for her and she is in denial and making excuses for herself. In the other, you are explaining a tactic that works for you, and then suggest that it might work for her. No judgment, no accusations of making excuses, no acting like you know better than her. Just offering another alternative. You say that you told her this, but what you said to her and what you are describing here are two different approaches. One is constructive, one is judgmental.
